With a relationship built on ultra-exclusive watches and multi-million dollar hypercars, Jacob & Co. and Bugatti celebrate hyper horology through a collection of automotive-inspired watches that embody the same design, materials, and technology as their four-wheel counterparts. After honoring the Bugatti Chiron’s legacy through a series of Chiron Tourbillon examples, each fitted with a W16 engine movement, Jacob & Co. is proud to help kick off the next era of high-performance hypercars with its all-new Bugatti Tourbillon watch.
Limited to just 250 units, the Jacob & Co. Bugatti Tourbillon is the perfect blend of aesthetics, mechanics, and functionality. The first version, crafted in black DLC titanium, is even more exclusive, with only 150 pieces available. Measuring 52 x 44mm with a 15mm thickness, the case features a spear-heading front grille and side radiator inlets, all covered with a laser-etched grid pattern. Large sapphire openings on the sides, shaped and tinted like car windows, offer an up-close view of Jacob & Co.’s intricate JCAM55 movement, comprised of 557 components. The hour and minute hands are retrograde, completing a 270-degree arc before jumping back to zero, just like an rpm gauge. The legendary Bugatti logo is proudly displayed between the jumping hands, adding to the watch’s automotive DNA.
At the heart of the Bugatti Tourbillon is a miniature V16 engine block, crafted from a single piece of transparent sapphire. The engine block, with its 16 titanium pistons, is driven by a single-axis crankshaft, one of the most complex and delicate parts ever created in modern watchmaking. When activated, the crankshaft spins, and all 16 cylinders move up and down, mimicking a real internal combustion engine. This remarkable automaton sequence, complete with its own set of exhaust manifolds, lasts for 20 seconds. The Jacob & Co. Bugatti Tourbillon is a marvel of engineering and a true collector’s item for those with an open order for Bugatti’s new Tourbillon hypercar.
